It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

It's not a swastika so he's not a Nazi smuglord

They have to be doing this on purpose, right? This happens so often that I can't see it as anything but the media actively working to normalize Nazism.

Even my co-workers are noticing, one was talking about how every video he sees of Ukraine he notices patches then looks them up and without fail they're always Nazi patches.

Remember when a cop in the USA had that same eagle on his inner forearm and had rolled his sleeves up while suppressing BLM protests?

I’m 99% positive that it’s an official department in Ukraine’s government that recognizes “everyday heroes” but they gotta name it after some Marvel fascist shit

To make sense of the Ukrainian mindset here's that in German übermenschliches Zentrum

I often wonder what the media thinks it's doing when it normalizes neo-nazism like this

The only conclusion I can come to is that there are a ton of quiet neo-nazis in journalism

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

It thinks "Slava Ukraini rah rah people love this shit". I bet half of them don't even look close enough to notice the insignia. They're paid to uncritically churn out fluff, not to investigate or question.

Journalism is full of liberals. Liberals are actually very tolerant of fascists. It's the communists they can't abide and will actively censor.

I think they're not even motivated on ideological grounds, they like their job, their salary, the social position it affords them, so they don't rock the boat, and push whatever their superiors ask them to push. They probably think not any of this will ever affect them anyway.

you give "journalists" too much credit. they're all state media propagandists and only the ones who can be gently guided by the spooks make it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

if you write an article and give it to a journalist they won't even read it a lot of the time and will just publish it under their own name

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If Inventing Reality is anything to go off of, the journalists might not be neo-nazis but their bosses certainly are.

Can purity balls be the name of our punk band?

Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.” -Umberto Eco

Damn I bet he has his own golden wheat field too. He walks through it in slow motion and rubs his hand on the berries. He also lives in a cabin off the grid in the Canadian wilderness.

I’m so disturbed that the one which looks more like a child has her hand on his thigh.

I also cannot understand the anatomy of the one on the left, because it looks like she has a freakishly long neck and is turning it 90 degrees to kiss him. Is there another daughter being hidden by her hair?

I first saw this as I was about to fall asleep and thought the knee was someone giving head

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

It's the outside of his right thigh, I think it's just a leverage thing. For the woman, what you see below her head is her leg, she is sitting behind him and leaning forward.

Is that a Nazi eagle or something? What differentiates it from a non Nazi eagle?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah.

What distinguishes the reichsadler from any random bird is the long, straight horizontal wings and the perch on a wreath. Under the third reich, that wreath contained a swastika, but modern fascist movements seeking to reference it will replace it with other symbols that aren't as reviled.
